title: Working through the experience of time in time-limited therapy.
abstract: The experience of time is a component in the psychic reality that can be understood from four standpoints: the cognitive, the dynamic, the existential-affective, and the life-span linked. This article presents a time-limited therapy in which the stress was on the constant interaction between the therapeutic content, which focused on the topic of time, and the singular setting of time-limited therapy. The discussion addresses the requisite conditions for turning short-term therapy into an active container for working through the sense of time, its meanings and its derivatives.
